Good Day Punks!

Back again with another worldbuilding post, this time in the efforts to explore a better education system. To understand a better time, place, and methodology for learning, and how these understandings can be incorporated into a new reimagined world. It's time to take our schools to school with the latest worldbuilding post:

Solarium - The Pursuit of Learning

I generally think that we do ourselves a disservice by limiting our learning potential to the times and place of the classroom. There is much more that can be gleamed by integrating the learning experience with the world around us. Would you agree? Would you rather education be part of a rigid, maybe convenient schedule? Would love to know your thoughts as I use this post and all the user comments to generate a writing prompt and flesh out more of my worldbuilding.

Whether you comment or not, hope it was at least a thought provoking read and I greatly appreciate your time! Have a great day! :)

Hello All!

Hope everyone has been having a good day so far! As an addition to the worldbuilding blogs that I've been writing, I've also wanted to write short "slice of life" stories that go along with each theme. This slice of life [SOL] story developed from the blog "Deliveries at the Speed of Life" and does try to incorporate the theme and feedback, but ultimately focuses on the human aspect that is the underlying element in all things Solarpunk. So, without further ado:

Solarium - Downtime [SOL002]

I try to use these writing prompts not only as a way to further focus on a theme, but also to further develop my own writing style, so feel free to leave any comments, questions, or critiques that you may have. Always happy to hear other's opinion.

Hope you enjoy the read and have a great rest of your day! :)

When is enough, enough?

When everyone has enough? When everyone has access to enough? When everyone has access to enough in a plethora of styles? When everyone has access to a plethora of styles, in a wide variety of places, with competing price points and features? When is enough, enough?

If we can't manufacture everything, for everybody, at all of the times, then what kind of system does that leave us? I have some thoughts and you can find them here:

Solarium - Deliveries at the speed of life

What do you think can be done in regards to overproduction of goods? Should there be consequences for producing more than can be consumed? Do you think capitalism can be tamed in such a way?

Would love to hear your thoughts! Together our voices will make a stronger world!

Also, thanks for reading! :)

Hope the day has been treating everyone well! Wanted to add this post here as well, as I think part of fleshing out a world is creating believable and relatable stories within that framework.

Over the past few months, I've written several articles that aim to define certain aspects of a fully sustainable world. After writing the last couple of articles, I wanted to really explore those concepts within a story. To really get a sense of how life might actually play out. Below I have a link to a story where I put together elements of an open travel society, a shared community, and food culture together:

[SOL001] - A Kitchen Story

I had fun writing the sections that I explored, and hope that reading through it was equally enjoyable. Would love any feedback or opinions that you may have. What did you think of the narrative? Could you envision yourself in that world? Would you buy a solarpunk cookbook filled with short stories?

Hope the rest of the day goes well and thanks for reading! :)

Branching off from my previous blog, Post Food Scarcity, I wanted to more deeply explore something that I eluded to in that post, and that is the Community Kitchen. How a shared space amongst the community fosters a sense of togetherness while also helping to reduce the redundancies of appliances and tools since not everyone would need to procure their own. Is it possible for everyone to come together in such a way? And how does that impact the daily lives and spatial needs of the individual? Find out here:

Solarium - A Shared Community

What's your opinion on this take? Could you envision yourself living in such a community? If not, what would you change? Always happy to hear other opinions, ideas, complaints, and experiences, so feel free to share! The more viewpoints I can experience, the stronger the ideas! 💪

If you made it this far, thanks for taking the time to read and hope you have a great rest of your day!!

(This is a repost that I shared with the Solar Punk community a while ago and was referenced to cross post here. Would love to hear any feedback that anyone has!)

A while ago I set myself a task, to build out a vision for the future that I have been slowly crafting within my imagination. Through this process I’ve found many similarities with my own path and that of the solarpunk community. In so, I decided to start a blog where I can compile my worldbuilding notes, encourage myself to write more, and facilitate regarding topics of what a solarpunk future actually looks like.

Solarium - Post Food Scarcity

Post Food Scarcity is the latest topic that I have explored. Taking a look into what a functional future looks like when we no longer have to worry about procuring food as a means of survival. Would love to hear other’s thoughts on this subject!

Trying to add content on a regular basis, mainly to form good writing habits, but also to keep the flow of creative juices well… flowing. Given that the r/solarpunk is under black out, I’m not really too sure of other good places to share my ideas. If anyone would be willing to point me in a good direction when it comes to sharing content, I would be most appreciative!!

In any ways, thanks for allowing me to take up some of your time and hope you have a great day!!
